“It [VAERS] is a horrible system,” lamented orthopedic surgeon Dr. Joel Wallskog. “But who created it? The FDA and the CDC,” he answered.

1. Communicate that reporting is mandatory.
2. Provide a penalty if practitioners don't report.
3. Have follow-up: no more "unconfirmed" reports.

“If you don't do those things, you don't want to know [about side effects]. And that's what I'd say to Peter Marks [of the FDA].”
